My name is Hazel McBride and I grew up in a very small village in Scotland. Being surrounded by forests, mountains, ocean, and incredible wildlife - is it any surprise that I grew up to want to write about magical and mythical creatures? 

 

I signed with Ciara Finan at the Curtis Brown agency in London in October 2023 and my debut Fantasy Romance, the first book in the 'Fire & Flames' Duology; A FATE FORGED IN FIRE was published in May 2025. The sequel A QUEEN CROWNED IN FLAMES will publish in May 2026.

​

This first duology is just the beginning of the wider 'Bonded to Beasts' series and is our first foray into the world of Erisocia. It will soon be followed by the 'Storms & Wind' Duology coming in 2027 and 2028.

​

This series is heavily inspired by Scottish mythology and features a sizzling enemies-to-lovers romance, Celtic mythology, and a whole heap of feminine rage. Make sure to subscribe to my newsletter for all the latest information below.

I now live in the Netherlands with my Dutch husband and our border collie Whiskey, but the dream is to one day live on a farm in the Scottish Highlands (yes even in winter!)
